docs: add MLX FAQ entry to system requirements page#1302
Conversation
Two users asked about MLX support in ComfyUI on 2026-07-18 via the Mintlify AI assistant. The docs did not address whether ComfyUI uses MLX or how acceleration works on Apple Silicon. Adds an Accordion FAQ entry to the system requirements page clarifying that ComfyUI uses PyTorch MPS backend (not MLX) on Apple Silicon Macs, with a command to verify MPS availability.

How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

In `@installation/system_requirements.mdx`:
- Line 72: Update the MLX description in the system requirements documentation
to identify it as a separate machine-learning array framework designed for Apple
Silicon, and remove the inaccurate “for research purposes” characterization.
Preserve the distinction that ComfyUI’s PyTorch-based architecture uses MPS
instead.
